RAINY respectfully begs leave to acquaint the Nobility, Gentry, and the Publie that he proposes to ESTABLISH at this Gallery and Office, a GENERAL RE GISTER for the TRANSFER of REAL PROPERTY of every deseriptie ), situate in any part of the United Kingdom, and of the beet class of residences in London, upon a principle, and under regulations which, it is confidently trusted, will claim consideration and attention, especially from the landed interest and wealthier susses; the groat object in view being to counteract and destroy quackery, and to suppress those practices which are derogatory, by opposing to theca a system of agency conducted with truth, impar tiality, anti independence calculated, it is hoped, to aorffd increased facilities to transactions at a considerable saving of expense of time and trouble, and with perfect security to the public.

Q. Who buys it for consumption? NOT ONE in a THOUSAND. This FACT alone should open the eyes of the public to the principal purpose for which it is so extensively used; viz.—the ADULTERATION Of FOREIGN BRANDY. Hence the great Importance of purchasing FOREIGN BRANDY of such houses alone as effer a reasonable assurance of its genuineness. This con sideration induces JOHN STEVENS, of 15, BROAD-STREET, BLOOINISBURY, to call the pnblic attention to the facts : First—That he neither Buys nor Sells British Brandy. se c o n d—That he neither Buys nor Sells any inferior description of Foreign Brandy. Third—That the (only Brandy he does Sell or Buy, is the very Choicest Oid Foreign Cognac and Champagne Brandies. Cognac Brandy Champagne ditto, 20 years old 34s. 725.

The only variation to notice is in Butter, both Foreign and Irish, both of which may be quoted at Is. lower than last week; but this weather will in all probability, if it continue, advance prices again. TALLOW AND OIL MARKET. Prime Yellow Candle is rather brisker; the price is 485., which is ra. ther better. The stock, we hear, is about 18,000 casks. Fish Oils of all kinds are dull, and may be quoted on an average now 20s. per tun lower than they were last week. CANADIAN PRODUCE MARKET. The holders of this produce ask more money, which the buyers are not disposed to give. The consequence is, that nothing is doing. COLONIAN MARKETS. The sales to-day of Groceries arc very slender ;in fact there is no thing to-day by public sale, and by private contract very little. British Plantation Sugar is firm in price, and rather brisker, the holders being out of stock. The deficiency of the stock as com pared with that of last year is not so very great. The comparative stocks stand 17,215 hhds. and tierces now against 24,143 at this time last year; Mauritius Sugar may be regarded as 6d. to Is. lower than last week ; the stock is 29,468 bags against 23,941 at this time last year. Bengal Sugar is cheap compared with Mauritius, and British Plantation, and either these will be lower, or Bengal will be higher Refined Sugar is flat at 395. for fine crushed. There is but little doing in any kind of Coffee, and prices are without variation. The stock of British Plantation is 2,778 casks and 1,182 barrels and bags. Ceylon, 23,234 bags. Mocha, 4,389 bales, Brazil, 32,153 bags. Tea brisk at last week's prices. Rum in good demand, prices looking up. Rice and Spices are very quiet, and Cotton too. The state of the market generally is this—that no:large sales can be effected ; a large sale appears to oppress the market. The traders generally must be in short stock, and therefore we may expect a revival. The deliveries at the Customs are now very slender. INDIGO SALE.—(SEVENTH DAY.) This sale continues to progress; and but very little is told. Prices may be quoted at last sale prices, 2d. per lb. advance fur all descrip_ tions, or Gd. per lb. lower than the market prices previous to the com mencement of the present sale.

The 94th Regiment is not to be sent to Canada. No extra regi ment is required for the Cape of Good Hope, and none will be sent. The whole of the additional force required for Canada, and intended to be sent, will be completed without disturbing the regular reliefs of the army in the smallest de gree. We can state positively, too, that the whole of the in crease which will be made to the army will not exceed 2,300 men, namely, 1,800 infantry, and 500 cavalry.—Morniny Ad vertiser. A PRESS FOR WORKS IN THE PRESS.—SO great was the throng yesterday for Murphy's Almanack that a police-officer was obliged to be called in to clear Messrs. Whittaker and Co.'s warehouse, and such is the rage for the work that is. 6d. in one instance, and 10s. in another, were given for a second-hand copy—the original price being Is. 6d. The hourly verification of his predictions has created an un paralleled excitement, and it is impossible to supply them fast enough. JOINT STOCK BANKS.—We observe from the public prints that many of the Liverpool Joint Stock Banks are declaring handsome dividends on the last half-year. The stability of the banks conducted on the joint-stock principle, in the manufacturing districts as well as those in the north of Eng land, have, during the past year, been severely tested. They have not only stood firmly, but have enabled hundreds to stand, and been the means of re-establishing confidence in a wonder fully short period. Wherever joint-stock banks have been conducted with the same skill and prudence as have characte rized the management of those in this district, they have in variably succeeded ; and, as this mode of conducting business in these establishments is now much better understood, their usefulness must become more extended. STRANGERS' FRIEND SOCIETY.—We beg to call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of this So ciety, which will be found in another part of our paper. It is an institution that not only deserves, but demands, the liberal support of the public. Its operations are not confined to the metropolis, but extend some miles round, having in connection with it upwards of three hundred gratuituous agents, male and female, who visit the abodes of the poor, aid relieve them as far as their resources will allow. The following is one of the numerous distressing cases which are daily presented to the visitors :--" Catharine Hagan, No. 17, Blue Anchor-alley, Bunhill-row, was found in a state of the most heart-rending destitution. The poor creature was delivered prematurely of an infant, which was lying on a table in one corner of a damp kitchen, under ground ; she was entirely without food or fire, and almost destitute of clothing, bed-covering, or any thing to make her comfortable. She had been in different circumstances. There were five small children, and the hus band was without employment. Assistance was immediately rendered, and a blanket, with some other articles of clothing was sent to their relief." Many cases of an equally distres sing nature might be noticed if our limits would permit; but we refer our readers to the Report of the Society for last year, from which the above is extracted, assured that the facts which it presents will of themselves be sufficient to awaken feelings of sympathy in the minds of all who peruse them, and at the same time carry with them far more powerful arguments than, any we might be able to use in favour of an institution which has the strongest claims upon public generosity, and is justly entitled to be ranked with those which receive the annual sup port of the benevolent. Sam Scott, the jumper, who has been astonishing the inhabitants of Liverpool and Manchester by his plunges into the water from the mast-heads and buildings, visited Bolton on Monday last. It having become known that he was about to jump from the roof of the warehouse at the canal wharf, a great crowd of persons were attracted to the spot. Just as he was preparing to Icap, one of the police officers made his appearance, and in a loud authorative tour. called out, " Theaw'rt comet deawn, ar'nt theaw ?" " r, h , yes, Sir," replied Sam ; and down he came, sure enoug÷ . , i nto the water, amid the laughter and cheers of the crow d . H e was not, however, allowed to reascend. A col► a ction was. made for him, hut we understand, the proceeds - were small.— Bolton Free Press. THE PA ItKS.—The appearance of the parks yesl terday, and, indeed, of the metropolis, was very different front that which they presented during the past week. Hyde -park in particular presented a striking contrast; until yesterday it was entirely clothed in an attire of almost spotless white, but now the colour has gone—the snow has completely melted, and the park has resumed its usual verdant h ue. Owing to the. quantity of water which remained after the melting of the snow on the ice of the Serpentine, skating was qu i te i mpracticable. The ice under the water, notwithstanding the thaw of the day, was still firm, DUBLIN MA 340 Wheat, per barrel 20 stone 14 Here l6 stone 5:3 Barley 55S Oats 14,457 Flour, per cwt ... 8 r!.,oe 564 Oatmeal -- A stone Sold to Bakers only.
